Stallone - life as a movie

Have you wondered why Sylvester Stallone has such a "unique" look? He was born paralyzed in the lower left side of the face. His speech was also very vague, and he was constantly taking ridicule from his peers. When he is 11, his parents divorce. By the 13th anniversary, he changed over 10 schools, and until 24 he worked as a cleaner, janitor and security guard.
When he went to New York to become an actor, nobody wanted to hire him. He slept for three weeks at the New Jersey Bus Terminal. His acting career was not going well and he was ruined. His marriage was in disarray, he started selling his wife's buzz to food. Things went so bad that he had to sell his dog (his best friend) for $ 25.

One day, while watching a boxing match of Mohamed Ali, he had an idea of ​​scripts. For three days, he wrote the Rocky script.

Shortly after, the miracle happens. Producer company wants to buy the Rocky script for $ 125,000. Despite the big sum, Sly refuses, as his condition of playing the lead role is not accepted. The production company said they had an actor and did not intend to change it.

A few days later, Sylvester received a new offer from the same company - $ 250,000, but he does not accept it again, because he will still be behind the cameras.

The offer is displayed next to the stunning 350,000 dollars, which again do not enter Stallone's account and again for the same reason. So, in the end, the producers agreed to give him the lead, but for $ 35,000. That's ten times less than their last offer, but he accepts.

Instead of celebrating his first serious blow, Stallone returns to the liquor store in the hope of redeeming the dog. He stalks there for three days, and eventually finds himself with the new owner of his loyal companion. He pays an amazing 15,000 dollars to get his dog back, which later took part in the film.

Rocky became the top-of-the-box movie of the year, receiving several Oscars, including the best film, out of ten nominations. The film earns $ 200 million, and Stallone becomes one of Hollywood's most wanted actors.
